Re: Horse Racing
Duntle missing from Falmouth field
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Just four runners will go to post for the Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket on Friday after David Wachman's Duntle failed to appear in the final declarations.
The field is headed by Richard Hannon's 1000 Guineas winner Sky Lantern, who backed up her Newmarket triumph with a stunning display in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot

Re: Horse Racing
Cirrus primed for Abbey rematch
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Corine Barande-Barbe is looking forward to taking on St Nicholas Abbey again with Cirrus Des Aigles in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot on July 27.
Only a quarter of a length separated them in last year's Dubai Sheema Classic with the French-trained runner coming out on top but St Nicholas Abbey took advantage of his absence at Meydan this year.

Re: Horse Racing
Eight go for Cambridge honours.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Wed
Quote:
Queen Mary Stakes winner Rizeena tops a field of eight declared for the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket on Friday.
The Clive Brittain-trained filly slammed 22 rivals in some style at Royal Ascot, but has to carry a 3lb penalty in this Group Two contest, formerly known as the Cherry Hinton Stakes.
Tim Pitt's One Chance, who ran a big race when third at 66-1 in the Queen Mary, renews rivalry, as does the fourth that day, Fig Roll. The latter has since gone on to take the Empress Stakes at Newmarket for trainer Richard Hannon.

Re: Horse Racing
Bell has Wigmore worries.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Michael Bell fears Wigmore Hall made need the outing when he returns to action in the Princess of Wales's boylesports.com Stakes at Newmarket on Thursday.
The globe-trotting six-year-old has had a longer than usual break after being off-colour, but Bell is pleased with his stable stalwart's home work ahead of his return.
"He had a break, but this was more an enforced one due to ill health. He will probably need the run, ideally he could have had another 10 days, but that said he has often gone well when fresh," said the Newmarket trainer.

Re: Horse Racing
Bolger mulls Bun run.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Jim Bolger is mulling a crack at the Darley Irish Oaks with Monday's Lenebane Stakes winner Bunairgead.
The daughter of New Approach, who is owned by Bolger's wife Jackie, had just a Leopardstown maiden win to her credit before landing the 12-furlong Listed event at Roscommon.
The Irish 1000 Guineas eighth could be headed back to the Curragh for another Classic date on Saturday week, although Bolger admits recent Curragh runner-up Scintillula would be his leading contender.

Re: Horse Racing
Bahrain hat-trick for Gosden.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
John Gosden claimed top honours in the Bahrain Trophy at Newmarket for the third successive year as Feel Like Dancing turned in a determined display in the hands of William Buick.
The Clarehaven maestro saddled Masked Marvel and Shantaram to win the last two runnings of this one-mile-five-furlong Group Three and his latest candidate was a 3-1 chance, having filled the runner-up spot in the Queen's Vase at Royal Ascot.

Re: Horse Racing
Anjaal enters Guineas picture.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Thu
Quote:
Anjaal finished with a rattle under Paul Hanagan to get up in the dying strides of the Portland Place Properties July Stakes at Newmarket.
Heading into this Group Two assignment, the youngster was the least fancied of two runners for the Hannon stable, who had won two of the previous three renewals, at 14-1 and was under pressure from halfway.
Godolphin's Figure Of Speech burst through on the far side of the track and looked set to prevail, but Anjaal really found top gear on meeting the rising ground and thrust home to get up by a neck. Jallota was a head further back in third ahead of favourite Sir John Hawkins in fourth.

Re: Horse Racing
Universally popular success.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
The tough-as-teak Universal turned in another relentless front-running display to claim Princess of Wales's boylesports.com Stakes at Newmarket.
A fine third in the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot, Universal was the 3-1 favourite for his latest assignment and was soon bowling along merrily at the head of affairs.
The challengers queued up to have a pop at him in the straight, but the Johnston runner saw them all off with relative ease under Joe Fanning,

Re: Horse Racing
Gosden fears Lantern threat.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
John Gosden has earmarked Sky Lantern as the biggest threat to Elusive Kate in Friday's Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket.
After being narrowly denied by Giofra in this race a year ago, the John Gosden-trained Elusive Kate went on to claim Group One honours in the Prix Rothschild at Deauville before running three more sound races in defeat.

Re: Horse Racing
Lethal sprinter out for more glory.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Clive Cox has every faith in Lethal Force as this season's surprise package in the sprinting division attempts to supplement his Royal Ascot gains in the Darley July Cup at Newmarket on Saturday.
The Lambourn trainer puts the grey's improved form down to his physical development from three to four and expects his speedster to have more in the locker after his emphatic success in the Diamond Jubilee Stakes.

Re: Horse Racing
Kate hangs on to floor Lantern.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Elusive Kate resisted the challenge of odds-on favourite Sky Lantern to claim Group One honours in the Etihad Airways Falmouth Stakes at Newmarket.
William Buick quickly steered last year's runner-up to the front for this clash of the generations, with Richard Hughes never too far away aboard the 1000 Guineas and Coronation Stakes heroine, who was sent off the 4-7 favourite.

Re: Horse Racing
Lucky strike for Margarson.
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...=&sub=&day=Fri
Quote:
Lucky Kristale caused a major upset by claiming the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes at Newmarket for trainer George Margarson and jockey Tom Queally.
A winner on Newmarket's Rowley Mile course on debut before following up at Yarmouth, the two-year-old had seemingly had her limitations exposed when a creditable sixth in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot.

Re: Horse Racing
Sole powered up for big sprint
http://www.attheraces.info/article.a...e&sub=&day=Sat
Quote:
Darley July Cup contender Sole Power has yet to win at six furlongs but Eddie Lynam feels the dual Group One winner has every chance of doing himself justice at the longer distance as he settles better these days.
The six-year-old is coming off an excellent run in the five-furlong King's Stand Stakes at Royal Ascot, in which he collared Shea Shea late on to win by a neck.
